How important would you say your CS background has been in propelling your PM career?

My CS degree itself was not that important but my CS background and experience as a software engineer was critical to my success. Learning to code, understanding web frameworks, knowing the process for software development, and making tradeoffs between complexity and impact really help provide effective solutions for the organization. Granted, you can have an incredible tech lead but that won't always be the case. I believe that if you're working on a digital product, it helps to have some technical understanding to ensure you're working with the development team responsibly. Also, really helps to understand what engineers go through during implementation to ensure the specifications are 100% clear.
